geegeewhiz Posted September 30, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Hello all, I have a VP room booked on Indy next year. When I booked it didn't have suite privileges, but now it does, and I noticed in my cruise planner I can book a cabana on Nellie's beach. The problem is I am traveling with my immediate family, party of 5 in our VP suite, and also my MIL, BIL and SIL booked in a regular panoramic stateroom. Are they allowed to enter Nellie's beach, the lounge area on the pool deck, or any other suite-designated areas with us? I would really like to take advantage of the suite perks, but at the same time not leave my other family members out. How would you go about this? -Gee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted September 30, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Nellie's Beach is not restricted to suite guests. The suite guest area on Labadee is Barefoot Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

setsail Posted September 30, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Yes for cabana up to 6 I would guess no for the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted September 30, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 30, 2018 sorry i meant barefoot... A cabana purchase allows 6 guests access to Barefoot to use the cabana. They will give you 6 wristbands to use for you and your guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could list the non-suite family members as guests occupying the cabana with you as your immediate family will have gold cards allowing them access to Barefoot. Absolutely no admittance to any suite venue (pool lounge area, shows or suite lounge) for anyone not actually in a suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATSEAMYLIFE Posted September 30, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 30, 2018 If you need more than one cabana on Barefoot anybody else in your suite can also rent one. When we had to many non-suite family guest for just one cabana, DW rented one in her name. Also if anybody is young, like maybe three and under, they won't really count them toward the six allowed. The three times we have rented and each time have grandkids under three they didn't count them toward the max allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted September 30, 2018 #11 Share Posted September 30, 2018 The question confuses me. Next year I’m sailing on the Allure in a CL Suite. I have 7 other family members sailing with us who are not in suites. I have absolutely no problem hanging with them in non suite privileged areas. Why would I expect otherwise. I have too much respect for the others who have earned or paid a ton of money to expect that the rest of my brood should also be invited into the suite areas. I may have a private party in my suite one night, but I’m not expecting that the rest of my family has carte blanche in the suite areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandgeezer Posted October 1, 2018 #16 Share Posted October 1, 2018 The suite areas are only for suite guests, not their friends and family. We are paying a very high premium for this and would not be happy if there were people in there that didn't pay the premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify, but Rpyal Caribbean C&A Pinnacle Members also have access to Suite Areas. And believe me when I say that to become Pinnacle, we've paid over and above the "premium"!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, I was prepared to not enter suite areas, so my family doesnt feel left out, but I heard from a couple of people that this is allowed sometimes, I just wanted to ask CC folks, who have cruised more times than I had what their experience has been with this...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Your question was both reasonable and fair. It just wouldn't be a Royal Caribbean Cruise Critic thread without the "duty snarkyism." Don't let it get to you.

It's been reported in some recent reviews that there were non suite guests in the SL. Perhaps it's at the discretion of the Concierge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are paying a very high premium for this and would not be happy if there were people in there that didn't pay the premium. What difference does the price make. You're either in a suite, or not. Price is not the issue. And there are some suite benefits which can be shared, Coastal Kitchen comes to mind, so it's not unreasonable to ask for clarification.
